Another Day in the Life in Rural America

So me and my youngest son are sitting at the computer. I'm helping him with a homework project he procrastinated on and now has to rush to get done. It is about 6:30pm which, at this time of year, still has light outside. It is an early evening with a little bit of rain.
Our computer is in a corner off our kitchen where we have large floor-to-ceiling windows that expose the beautiful outdoors. Suddenly, out of the corner of our eyes, we see something big and black moving quickly across the yard. We turn and look and what do we see? A black bear!!!!! The dogs saw it first and wow did they bark!!! The bear ran behind our new little fence partition and then back behind the new pines we had put in and off into the large open yard of our neighbor. We saw it run across that yard and disappear from sight. (too many trees over there).
The bear was small so we stayed inside, kept the dogs in, just in case the Mama bear was about to follow!! The rest of the night was calm. But, I'm sure my dogs will be dreaming about it for days to come.

Nice weather

We have been having the most beautiful weather. It is warm during the day but not hot. It is cool at night but not cold. Birds are everywhere. Flowers are blooming. The air is sweet with perfume. I love it when we can open the windows and watch the dust balls blow out from under the bed.

Art Swap

Andrew sold two of his works to the owner of Richmond Grille so we had to go and swap out the sold art and put in two new pieces. While we were doing that, the owner said he would be happy to hold an art opening for Andrew there and he could bring all this stuff and show it. Sounds like fun to me!!!!
